    Cintron never had control of any part of the fight the way Cotto did. Yes he landed some big shots, but that was about it. Cotto landed big shots, and also outboxed him for the entire first half of the fight. So no, his performance was not admirable.

      So now boxing ability and control are what's admirable? Care to change your vote?

        I Never said that's what constitutes a "admirable" performance. U just did. Im only making a point of how Cintron was COMPLETELY outclassed by Margarito. What's admirable about that???

            Because the only difference between Cintron and Cotto's performances is that at one point one was actually controlling the fight because of boxing ability.

            So, now follow me here, if Cintron's performance is not admirable and Cotto's performance is then it stands to reason that the only difference in the two fights (control via boxing ability) would be the reason it was admirable.

            See what I did there?

              So if there's a fight where one guy is getting completely dominated for 9 rounds, then turns it around with one punch and knock his opponent TFO in the 10th, would his performance NOT be considered admirable due to the fact that he was never in control of the fight, with the exception of the KO?
